Chelsea have recently been linked with a potential move for Brentford's Ivan Toney.
The club might consider pursuing this transfer during the upcoming January window, with reports suggesting that the Bees could set an asking price exceeding £70 million.
According to information from Football Insider, Brentford are hesitant to part ways with a key player in the middle of the season and is therefore likely to demand a premium for the 27-year-old's services.
The striker is presently serving a suspension due to a breach of football-related betting regulations but is expected to return to action in mid-January.
Since Brentford's promotion to the Premier League, the Englishman has established himself as a dependable striker in the top flight and could potentially be a valuable addition to the Blues' squad.
The West Londoners faced difficulties in consistently finding the back of the net in the previous season, and although they have brought in Nicholas Jackson this summer, Mauricio Pochettino's team could benefit from added quality in their attacking department.
Toney, on the other hand, had an impressive campaign, scoring 21 goals across all competitions last season.
